Italy Referendum
Italy voted no in a referendum on constitutional reform, forcing Matteo Renzi (Prime Minister) to quit, which started a Eurozone crisis. Italy rejected the reform that the 315 seat chamber would be changed to a 100 seat chamber, 74 regional councilors, 21 mayors and five presidential nominees. They can only serve for seven year instead of for life. The reform is designed to bring more stability to Italy's government and to prevent minority parties from gaining power. Now everything is up to President Mattarella. To see if he accepts Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s resignation or doesn’t. If he does accept it then President Mattarella will assign a caretaker government to lead Italy until the next election in 2018. If he rejects Prime Minister Matteo’s resignation then he will be forced to continue as a leader with a reshuffled cabinet.
Greece Debt Crisis
European authorities have authorized handing 7.5 billion euros, or $8.4 billion, in bailout aid to Greece, which is helping the country pay for its bills. Greece cannot meet its budget goals without easing its debts. Greece has a huge amount of unemployment which can be a reason for the countries debt. If Greece were to leave the Eurozone they'd be in great trouble. the support they need to get out of debt wont be there anymore. Although it wouldnt be a bad thing politically the Eurozone has had a lot of problems like with the italians and it wouldn't hurt as bad. Prokopis Pavlopoulos (Greece's President) has a bunch of decisions to make to help the union stay untited and help his country rise above this bump.
Political issue: Spain's Defence Secretary Alejandro Alvargonzález has ruled out imminent Spanish military involvement against the terrorist group Isis in Iraq, describing the issue as 'complicated' in the minds of the Spanish electorate.Spain's Alvargonzález made the remarks , where U.S president Barack Obama is expected to ask for allies in possible military intervention against Isis terrorists in Iraq.A terrorist attack in Madrid on March 11th, 2004, just three days before Spanish voters went to the polls, killed a total of 191 people on two packed commuter trains. Spain's conservative Popular Party government blamed the attacks on the Basque separatist group ETA. But many Spaniards believed they were trying to deflect attention from a possible link between the bombings and Spain's involvement in the Iraq War. The Popular Party then lost the general elections and a socialist PSOE government took power, and withdrawed Spanish troops from Iraq.
